Installation procedure for VPCZ21 drivers and utilities

Please read this if you are installing a clean version of Windows 7 64-bit Edition

You must connect the Power Media Dock (docking station) to your notebook when installing the 64-bit driver “AMD Radeon HD6650M & Intel Mobile HD graphics”. This driver won’t install if the Power Media Dock is not connected. Note that the driver “AMD Radeon HD6650M & Intel Mobile HD graphics” is a hybrid graphics driver for both the AMD and Intel graphics adapters. If you have purchased a VAIO VPCZ21 notebook series without the Power Media Dock, please install the standalone 64-bit driver “Intel Mobile HD graphics”.

You must install “ALL” drivers and utilities labelled 64-bit or 32/64-bit that are available in the Preinstalled download section of your model. Failure to install “ALL” drivers and utilities may cause some features (for e.g.: Fn-hotkeys, etc.) not to operate properly.
